Watch: Dramatic Footage of Meteorite Hitting Central Russia

A meteor blazed across the sky over Russia's Ural Mountains region on Friday and exploded with the force equal to that of an atomic bomb, injuring more than 1,000 people as it blasted out windows and caused an unspecified amount of damage to the city of Chelyabinsk. Watch the extraordinary footage below (from Sky News):

CNN obtained the 13 different videos seen by members of the Senate Intelligence Committee depicting aftermath of an chemical weapons attack in Syria on August 21. The Obama administration claimed that the intelligence community verified the authenticity of the videos that show "Men sprawled on a tile floor, shirtless and convulsing."

Whatever you may think of US foreign policy, this incredibly moving footage of Syrians celebrating their freedom from ISIS in the city of Manbij is a testament to some of the good the coalition forces are doing.

A visit to Russia by a Republican congressional delegation led by Dana Rohrabacher of California has featured some unusual twists. The trip was at least partly arranged by action-film star Steven Seagal, which makes it only slightly less weird, as far as the role of entertainers is concerned, than Dennis Rodman being a point man for engagement with the leader of North Korea.
